MANCHESTER: Phil Foden says he’s delighted to share Manchester City’s historic Premier League title win with the club’s devoted supporters.
Pep Guardiola’s side became the first men’s team in English football history to win four straight top-flight titles following our 3-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
The England international continued his phenomenal season by scoring twice in the success after he was named Premier League Player of the Year and Football Writers Association Men’s Player of the Year. And Foden revealed he and his City teammates drew on the valuable experience to win a 10th title for the Club.
‘It’s so hard to put into words today, we’ve put ourselves into the history books, no team has ever done it and you can see what it means to the fans, what it means to us,’ Foden declared in statements published by Man City’s website.
‘We’ve worked so hard for this moment right here, and it’s such as special feeling to share this with the fans.’
‘In the Premier League it means more becaus
e no team has ever won four in a row before, we’re the first team to do it, I’m lost for words to be honest and I’m absolutely shattered.
‘Not just me, but all the lads as well have played important games over the years and we’ve played this scenario a couple of times as well.
‘That experience helps the nerves and I thought today we looked confident and we just played our football and in the end it paid off.’
Foden broke the deadlock against West Ham inside two minutes and lit the blue touch paper with an exquisite turn and wonderful finish into the top corner.
He would then double his tally 16 minutes later when sweeping Jeremy Doku’s cross into the net.
And the classy attacker says City couldn’t have made a better start in a high-pressured environment.
He added: ‘It was the perfect start, sometimes I believe in scoring too early so I had to stay switched on and luckily I got the second which set us up and I think [the nickname] sniper is going to stay for a bit longer now.’
‘I never get bored [of win
ning the Premier League], I want this feeling every time and when you win something there’s no better feeling and I just want to keep winning as much as I can.’
